As a cardinals fan, I miss this guy! He was let go by the cardinals ball club because he wasn't a yes man & didn't kiss the upper management's behind. His knowledge of baseball is absolutely 2nd to none! I was so disappointed when the cardinals let him go! Congratulations Mike! I know you will do well with the Padres.
Awesome interview! I love that Don actually listens to the answers and engages with Mike...so many ppl do interviews and ask questions and don't even listen to responses..just go on to the next question..
Already way better than vanilla ass BoMel. Dons natural excitement for him being the new manager is apparent and that speaks volumes. I’m ready for the Schildt era!
I still remember Bob Melvins first interviews with the Padres, he had been asked if he liked the new Brown-and-Gold uniforms and his response was something like "I'm getting used to it" ... ??? ... just thought that was an odd response. I too sense great excitement from Mike!👍
I like, Mike...I got no problem with him at alL...because his agenda and the way he speaks of how grateful he is to get this chance again, is REAL. Melvin, on the other hand, was just fed up with Preller. Lets stop acting like the reason he left the Padres, was any deeper and complicated than that. And if Mike is as smart as I think he is, he'll look past how infatuated Preller was with Ryan Flaherty, who he REALLY wanted to manage the team. And in all honesty, Preller has no one to blame for his fuck-up with that scenario, other than himself. If he had such an obvious boner for Flaherty, then he should have NEVER hired Bob Melvin in the first place.
Must have lost out on Craig Counsell. Shildt did a terrible, uninspiring job in St. Louis. That was why he was available. Bad move, telling you Padre fans now you won't like how he manages.
I am so very happy with this new manager. I understand he helped Tatis a lot when Tatis was coming back. Cannot wait until Spring Training starts!
This guy gets it. I really like listening to him speak. Hopefully the players embrace him.
As a Cards fan, Shildt is missed. Great move by the Padres!
almost wins 20 games in a row, makes playoffs, gets fired, for winning (making john mo look bad)
I really really like Mike. This is a great move!
Welcome to the San Diego Padres Mike Shildt!! 💛🤎
He’s been in San Diego coaching staff. He’s just been promoted.
There’s a real sense that Mike is a true motivational inclusive manager … one in all in attitude.
He will lead us to the promise land!

Now lets bring Gil as bench coach
No. You people are obsessed with Gil just because he’s Mexican and managed a WBC club for a month
More likely Willie McGee will be joining the coaching staff
Hes already managing a Mexican team
Rewatching this on on 9/25…
It’s coming to fruition.
lfg shildty for peter, for the fans, for the city.
This is gonna be so dope to see

Mike doing a good job so far. LFGSD 🔥🔥
So excited
Nice job!!
LFGSD. Very excited about Mike
Can't wait for the season
lets go!!
Letting him go was a huge mistake for the Cardinals. Look where they are now.
Good luck this season
Extend soto
Good hire
MR MONEY MIKE BABYYYYY
I’m sure this will go really well, right?
Yadier Molina as bench coach
No clips of Soto 🤔
Well. promoted in house? How about that
the way the Cardinals treated him was disgraceful
He looks steadfast and motivational already. BoMel old ass looked stressed and overconfident.
I hated that Soto was not to be found in the player video. Don't want that to be a sign of things ahead.
Get over it he’s selfish

hire me as the first baseman coach!
Well we'll never see anything but he could try hopefully we could see third place instead of fourth or 5th
Padres are going to choke it mike every year
Anton Richardson wants him cancelled now
No Soto in video. He gone
Another BUST season on the horizon 😂
Lfggggg!!! 💛🤎
Looks like Don trimmed down a few pounds,

Happy it wasn’t Gil idk why everyone is on his nuts
